# Any idea what I’m doing wrong here? At first I thought I was over…

_Posted by Jenny on 2025-04-08_

Any idea what I’m doing wrong here? At first I thought I was over watering with the yellow leaves. But I’m also getting leaf curl? It has a decent quality grow light near it plus some natural light. Any advice welcome. I’ve had her for 6 months and she just keeps slowly declining and has lost a lot of volume.  
\*aware this is not a true pothos\*

How are the humidity levels where you keep this plant? I’ve noticed mine likes a lot of humidity and does well with a humidifier

I think it’s overwatered, hence the excessive drooping of leaves.  
You should check on the roots and maybe repot

My pothos love humidity, I live in an area with not to much. Misting every few days does wonders.Also drainage is a huge factor.

The soil...

This is my favorite plant of all time! I would say check the soil if it’s too dry sometimes leaves will curl or if it is too wet! Make sure that the soil dries out almost all the way before you water it again! I keep most of mine in my bathroom and I find the ones that I don’t don’t grow as well. I would take the yellow leaf off and if you’re really nervous, you could even propagate a little bit of it in water just under the node!💚
